run-tests: report tests as failed when run-test raises an error

Before no message was returned to the main thread. No result was registered
and no new thread was started.
This does not happen when running normal. But when fiddling around with
the test infrastructure, this helps a lot.

import sys

globalvars = {}
localvars = {}
lines = sys.stdin.readlines()
while lines:
    l = lines.pop(0)
    if l.startswith('SALT'):
        print l[:-1]
    elif l.startswith('>>> '):
        snippet = l[4:]
        while lines and lines[0].startswith('... '):
            l = lines.pop(0)
            snippet += "\n" + l[4:]
        c = compile(snippet, '<heredoc>', 'single')
        try:
            exec c in globalvars, localvars
        except Exception, inst:
            print repr(inst)
